Summary

PLEASE NOTE: This record has been retired. It has been superseded by: https://environment.data.gov.uk/dataset/f81508d3-cf5a-44ed-ae7e-452be665af84 This dataset is a product of a national assessment of flood risk for England produced using local expertise. It is produced using the Risk of Flooding from Rivers and Sea data which shows the chance of flooding from rivers and/or the sea, based on cells of 50m. Each cell is allocated one of four flood risk categories, taking into account flood defences and their condition.

This dataset uses OS address data and Royal Mail postcode data to show how many properties are in each of four flood risk categories in each postcode, based simply on the category allocated to the cell that each property is in.
